I noticed that the logo looks a little stretched (presumably because you have a widescreen), but I don't suppose there is any way for us to avoid this on a GDM that has to work on both normal and wide aspect ratio monitors?

No problem - and thanks

I'd be delighted. Would you like the same size and positioned logo as this one? A reflection?

If you have a widescreen version of the wallpaper I can put together a widescreen version of the theme.

Lets try 1440 x 900 with the logo in the same position. I am not sure about the reflection, what do you think?

Okay, I'm pretty sure that this will be the last time I update Carbon Mint. You'll have to forgive my soft spot for it; it's just that Carbon Mint was my first Linux Mint wallpaper, plus Clem liked the original enough to use it in the Elyssa preview - so at least I know I'm not the only one .

Anyway I've just made a couple of tweaks: reduced the logo size and moved it up slightly, lightened 'from freedom came elegance' and darkened the background.

I thought XFCE CE used the main logo?

Check Merlwiz' signature

merlwiz79 can correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I'm aware the logo in his signature is just something that he uses on the forums - you won't find it anywhere in the current release of XFCE CE.

Plus, I have to admit that I like the fact that XFCE CE uses the main artwork as it means access to the wide variety of great artwork already created for the main edition. If this changes in the future then I'll have a lot of my own wallpapers that I'll need to update the logo on!

His signature logo is found in a couple of threads on the forum discussing what the "official" Mint XFCE logo should look like once LM4 XFCE is finally released, and since XFCE is in beta state still, there probably isn't any "official" artwork determined yet...

I remember seeing at least three different versions of the logo, different color schemes and layouts etc.
